Users Guide

CMC also forwards the events generated to iDRAC. In case the iDRAC on the server is not functional,
CMC queues the first 16 events and logs the rest in the CMC log. These 16 events are sent to iDRAC as
soon as Chassis monitoring is set to enabled.
In instances where iDRAC detects that a required CMC functionality is absent, a warning message is
displayed informing you that certain features may not be functional without a CMC firmware upgrade.
